Dr. Sponder introduced Dotstorming to us in class and recommended Maria and I use it for our PD on Tuesday. We are presenting with other colleagues and this can be a great way to get feedback on the presentations. I also think this would be good in our data team meetings and can be used as a tool to brainstorm.
Basically, the user creates a bulletin board. This reminds me of Padlet; another online tool that Dr. Sponder introduced to us last semester. I guess the difference between the two is that Dotstorming allows the users to vote.
I am going to require the students to use this app for their next project to collect their ideas and dump their resources into. This will make it easy for me to track their progress and the other students could also check on each others boards to get or bounce ideas off of each other. It will be interesting to see how this works out.
Hope it works for you. If you use EdShelf regularly you get all sorts of new sites delivered to your "door" (mailbox). Looking forward to hearing how it went.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea to for you to use the app to pool the ideas of your students. What is their next project supposed to be and how do you plan on using it to display their ideas? I'm interested to hear how that works out.
